Caldecott Hopes

I have read quite a few picture books this year. Lots of the CYBILS shortlisted books are not eligible for the Caldecott. But, I did see lots of great picture books during my reading for the CYBILS and throughout the year. Here are the ones I hope win the Caldecott. I don't know if they are all eligible, but I love them all. (And, I am not good at predicting these either...)

I agree with Adele and SimonI like to add one book The Library Lion by Michelle Kundsen, illus. by Kevin Hawkes. To me it screams caldecott than again I might be little biased b/c I love the book. Can a British author not win the caldecott
